Dear Mr. Iskhakov, we wish you a very happy birthday, good health and family warmth!

Kurban Berdyev: "We met in 2001 and we became really close with Mr. Kamil Iskhakov from the very beginning which was very important for a fruitful cooperation. It was under his presidency when our club began to rise to prominence. His contribution cannot be overstated as he came to Rubin in hard times in the 90s when we were a third tier club and passed the baton to his successor Mr. Aleksandr Gusev after becoming bronze medalist with FC Rubin. Words can hardly describe his contribution. He is a man who has devoted his life and career to public service. Mr. Iskhakov has always been a football fan who attends FC Rubin matches. It´s always great to see him at the stadium. On behalf of the club and on my own behalf we wish a very happy birthday to Mr. Kamil Iskhakov, good health, family warmth and every success".
